ATEME - VoIP Encoders, Decoders and Recorders

ATEME's MPEG-4 and H.264 video encoders, decoders and recorders can deliver high-quality images for applications requiring optimal levels of road surveillance and evidence gathering. As an MPEG-4/H.264 expert, ATEME is the partner of choice for freight and public transportation providers with demanding video security requirements.

Open and standards-compliant, ATEME's products can adapt to any type of IP network whilst integrating with existing legacy equipment, including analog cameras and monitors. Rugged and ultra-reliable, ATEME's decentralized and scalable architecture allows for building video security infrastructures adapted to the most extreme requirements.

DSP-based hardware platform

ATEME's dedicated R&D team has applied the most recent advances in video technology to building high-end video security solutions that respect industry standards and requirements. Entirely upgradeable, the ATEME VSIP DSP-based hardware platform is entirely upgradeable, allowing customers to benefit from the latest technological advances without needing to invest in new equipment.

ATEME's in-house H.264 codec provides bandwidth savings of up to 30% compared with standard MPEG-4 video at equal and superior levels of picture quality. Dynamic network adaption (DNA), an exclusive ATEME technology, brings additional performance gains by reducing storage and maintenance costs. Features such as constant video quality (CVQ) can greatly improve bandwidth efficiency while maintaining an optimal level of picture quality. In addition, variable frame rate (VFR) can radically reduce network loads during periods of low activity.

One-channel, two-channel and four-channel encoders

The VSIP range of products by ATEME includes one-channel, two-channel, and four-channel H.264 or MPEG-4 encoders in rack or standalone versions. VSIP cards are hot-swappable and racks are available with optional redundant power supplies. Designed for the most extreme environments, the FE series of encoders can withstand temperatures within a range of –40°C to +70°C (-40°F to +158°F).

H.264 and MPEG-4 video decoders

The ViPix range of decoders combines the best of H.264 and MPEG-4 video with a high level of flexibility and quality. With support for the TCP, UDP, HTTP, and DHCP protocols as well as for RTP/RTSP unicast and multicast streaming, ViPix is the ideal decoder for situations where high-quality video needs to adapt an IP network infrastructure.

Digital video recorders and network video recorders

ATEME's VISIO digital video recorders (DVR) and network video recorders (NVR) are designed for centralized sites with multiple channels such as airports and public buildings as well as networks dispersed over large areas such as highways and pipelines.

VISIO is the ideal compact DVR for multi-site configurations that require long recording times and live monitoring. The NVR range provides large and heterogeneous infrastructures with openness, flexibility and interoperability.
